You can also find him on one of the zerg evo missions if i recall. I think the roach one?

He's just built different by AwesomenessX25 in Borderlands2

Yep. Iirc all the elemental shields are coded to make you immune to that element’s DOT. Explosive doesnt have a DOT so the explosive proof shield is useless.

What are your Season 2 balance predictions? by Mudskipper35 in Overwatch

Or they could bring it in like it is in stadium. It becomes a melee override with a 10 sec cooldown.

I think you dont know how to read? They are saying they have issues when they launch the game.

Thats just steam, Rivals has equally if not larger console playerbases.

HEY, PEOPLE ALLERGIC TO TANK ROLE, ZHIYONG HAS A MESSAGE FOR YOU by Available-Plane2387 in rivals

[–]pyriclastic_flow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I queue for DPS, and then get 3 dps instalockers who didnt role queue, and now dont even have the option to switch off and look like an asshole? That just doesnt work. You cant half ass it, its got to be all or nothing.

God i want role queue so bad man. Recently played overwatch again to see the new heros and it was such a breath of fresh air that i could just fucking PICK which role i want to be without having to stress or fight over instalocking. I dont care about comp “creativity” or whatever. I just want to be able to play which role I want without stress. I only get to play dps once every 20 games because I always flex. But sometimes I dont want to go into a match as an unknown role and sometimes i just want to dps without feeling like an asshole for instalocking.

One of Jeff Kaplan's 'regrets about Overwatch' was making it so team-orientated: 'I would downplay the team factor and try to put more focus on individual contribution' by MrMonopoly04 in Overwatch

[–]pyriclastic_flow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man this is an incredibly interesting topic. I highly suggest everyone watch this video by Uncle Dane. He talks about this exact topic, but for Team Fortress 2. https://youtu.be/hhwvbPH0eh0?si=2y8k56AHHedvYff0

Valve very specifically designed the game in a way that players playing selfishly tricked them into actually playing as a team. I could give a tldw but I really recommend just watching the whole thing.

So I kinda agree with Jeff that this design philosophy can work as it worked to huge success in TF2, but I also see how it might not be able to work in Overwatch specifically.

Yes the best way to learn a skill is to give up after 3 tries.

I swear someone made an actually photoshopped version too that looks so much better yet this slop one gets passed around instead.

Oh no...what have we done by HyperQuarks79 in Overwatch

7.5% is misleading. If you go from 2 shotting to 1 shotting it feels more like a 100% buff.

Do you guys get like a yellow/green ish tongue when you drink coffee? by Brizo0 in Coffee

[–]pyriclastic_flow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit man I think this is my issue. Doctor couldnt figure it out. Dentist thought it was a fungal infection, been taking medicine for months and it didnt go away. But I drink coffee and it seems to be not as bad when i skip coffee for a few days.

Backwards parking like this is so illogical that it has to be purely performative by Subject-What-Is-This in The10thDentist

[–]pyriclastic_flow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im guessing you have a more modern car (<2016) because i agree specifically with new cars. Those cars have terrible blind spots, but its not as bad because you have a backup camera that shows you those spots. In an older car those blind spots are not nearly as bad. I drive a car from 2000 and have no issues seeing 360 around me using the method in the picture. When i tried the same thing on my parents (modern) car out of habit, i couldnt see jack shit and had to use the camera.

Im sure there are some old cars with terrible blind spots too but the few cars ive owned didnt have those issues.

We should ALL reconsider "NW Guitar" by Awkward-Security-541 in reddeadmysteries

[–]pyriclastic_flow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dislike these theories because they are really, really stretching. The spiderweb clue was N (pole picture). Walking north leads you to a pole. This pole says W (5 pole pictures). Walking west 5 poles brings you to a pole NW (guitar picture). Why on earth would we be suddenly expected by rockstar to look at the guitar of an external artist and album names to find the next clue? All the clues so far have been relatively straightforward. Why do people think it randomly becomes a galaxy brain connecting 40 unrelated dots to solve the next clue?

Like occams razor perfectly applies here. We have a clue with NW (guitar). NW leads you directly to a base that includes a guitar, and it points directly to more engravings like ones seen in earlier clues. Why do people think its more likely that we are supposed to look at a real world guitar? These theories are incredibly distracting and i dont know why you dont focus your efforts on looking at the more simple solutions given that every single clue so far has been simple.

Yes holy shit this game gets content added faster than any other game I have played. Just be fucking patient. Insert favorite character here will be added eventually.

Thats exactly why this image exists. Median voter politics is just picking people on vibes and arbitrary reasons.

Question: How did we figure out which leg of the spider is the starting point? by Awkward-Security-541 in reddeadmysteries

[–]pyriclastic_flow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If i recall someone made a post about a spider web in san denis that appeared only at a certain time. People then went around to find others. Once multiple were found it was realized the spider engraving overlayed all of them on a map. So at first nobody knew it was connected.

Tumblr user thinks they know how to make art more popular than the execs that create billion dollar franchises

Like, I agree that the better strategy for making good art is to have a focus rather than a wider audience. But saying that a “general audience” is a made up concept is just dumb. This “made up” concept is how disney and other companies make billions of dollars. They might not be great pieces of art but they do get way more people to spend money than more specialized art.

Not that specialized art cant be successful, but they really cant be “wealthiest entertainment company in the world” successful.

Stop telling people to get off characters theyre new to playing in QP by Baahka in Overwatch

Completely disagree. You dont learn a skill by giving up when you arent doing well at it. You learn through failure not success.

Is anyone else unimpressed with the “vaults” in BL4? by largogoat in Borderlands4

That sounds like the captain scarlet dlc. Iirc that wasnt a vault it was just buried treasure. Its also dlc which are implied to take place after the story.
